Former Press Council chairman Markandey Katju was slammed for his controversial tweet saying, Shazia Ilmi was more beautiful than Bedi and that BJP would win Delhi elections, if Shazia was the CM candidate.
Katju had another follow-up tweet which said that people vote for beautiful faces and that he, who normally wouldn't vote, would have voted for Shazia, had she been the CM candidate.
Katju's tweets have created furore among the general public with the youth having mixed feelings towards it (mostly negative).

I regard Shazia Ilmi much more beautiful than Kiran Bedi. If Shazia had been made their C.M. candidate BJP wud have definitely won the Delhi

But this unwanted attention was not going to go down easy, as more and more people joined in to re-tweet and to forward the messages. This has inflicted some serious damage to the reputation of Mr Katju.
Markandey Katju before his appointment as the chairman of Press Council of India was a judge at the Supreme Court of India. He has also served as the Chief Justice of Delhi High Court and Madras High Court.
A couple of silly tweets have cost a lot for Justice Katju and it doesn't matter what explanation he gives, as there is always going to be some stigma associated with him the next time media covers him, be it for good or bad!
